| If you have ever been to a seaport it is a busy place | | | | thought? As we talked it was apparent that no one |
| with heavy cranes and material handling equipment | | | | uses solar panels to light up the seaports, they do |
| everywhere. Containers lined up sometimes 6-8 high, | | | | not use wind, they bite the bullet and work of the |
| it is a scary place for some but for a material handling | | | | power grid. He had no system that does not "plug in" |
| equipment supply and services company it is a dream | | | | in the way of lighting. They don't exist.I therefore |
| come true. The seaports only job is to move freight | | | | propose using all the vibrational energy from the |
| to and from our shores. America exports all kinds of | | | | cranes, clanking of containers, forklifts, ship motors |
| goods and imports every thing from car parts to | | | | and material handling equipment to power up the |
| computers.Those containers represent World Trade, | | | | lights at the modern seaport. How so you ask? Well, |
| US trade deficit and the hopeful economies of many | | | | let me tell you what I told the material handling |
| third world nations busy trying to fulfill the needs of | | | | supply and equipment consultant. You see, by placing |
| our economic powerhouse and strong middle class | | | | large sandwich sheets around the port where you |
| base. This is why a material handling equipment and | | | | want the light, which are specially designed with a |
| supply services company salesman is in heaven near | | | | taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper |
| such waters. But on my last visit I spent some time | | | | lined tubes, hundreds of them running perpendicular |
| in a coffee shop with a container specialist who later | | | | to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and |
| switched jobs and became a material handling | | | | forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be |
| equipment supply guy. He told me he sold everything | | | | hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber |
| you could ever think of that was used in any part of | | | | optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 |
| the shipping business, from plastic wrap machines for | | | | watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights |
| small business to shock mats for the inside of trucks | | | | hooked up in a composite format it will light up the |
| and cargo containers to protect the cargo, freight | | | | roadways and seaport storage yards and since the |
| and exported goods to foreign shores.I asked him | | | | lights can shine down on the yards marked roads it |
| about lighting and he said yes our company has | | | | would be like daylight without the light pollution |
| manufactured lines on that too, he then asked me; | | | | associated with street lights in large ports, yet the |
| "How many lights do you need and when do you | | | | same or better light for those working. We must |
| want them?" What a salesmen, so since I was not | | | | have proper lighting at our seaports for security in |
| actually buying lights, I bought him a cup of coffee to | | | | case the power goes out.Currently this technology is |
| pick his brain. I asked him how do they light up such | | | | being used in those little flashlights you see |
| large Seaports and do you have an energy efficient | | | | advertised on television that you shake and they |
| lighting that uses no power source? He said; "Oh, we | | | | light, but you never need batteries. This idea of |
| have all types of energy efficient bright lights that | | | | lighting up the Seaports is using that technology on a |
| can light up a stadium, how many do you need?" I | | | | larger scale with miniaturized parts making up the |
| enjoyed his assertive "trial close" sales tactics, he | | | | guts between the sandwich sheets. Let there be |
| must have went to Ziggy Ziglar's Sales Seminars? Not | | | | light, thru vibrational energy and there was, the |
| bad I thought for a material handling equipment and | | | | whole seaport lit up like a Christmas Tree. Think on |
| supply specialist and consultant, who would have | | | | it.Lance Winslow - Online Think Tank forum board. |
